Oooooooh, foreshadowing.Īnother shot of the black-hoods is presented as they are standing in what might be a parking lot at night, throwing smoke bombs. The image of them in the interview room is soon replaced by the ominous black-hoods in the same room, bobbing their heads to the beat of the music, who quickly fade away to reveal microphones suspended in mid-air in anticipation of the inevitable ‘mic drop’. This complete contrast to their last, highly stylized and vibrantly colored music video for ‘DNA’ seems reminiscent of the band’s earlier days of edgier songs and a rougher image. In an aggressive motion, J-Hope jumps over the interview table and we see the whole group standing in front of it, wearing black shirts with skulls and arrows, camo jackets, bandanas and heavy boots. At the tap of ‘play’, however, we begin to hear the first few muffled notes of ‘MIC Drop’. Up until this point, the video was more or less silent. And yet, BTS’s facial expressions and postures in this shot suggest defiance and challenge – which fits perfectly with the song’s lyrics.Īoki puts on his headphones and gets ready to slam the ‘play’ button but not before we’re shown a mob of people in black hoods facing away form the camera (I’m betting everything that they are representing A.R.M.Y.), encased in the glaring hue of floodlights.

BTS are shown first in the reflection of a security camera and then appear behind a two-way mirror in what seems like a cross between an investigation room and an interview panel with several microphones. J-Hope: “I’d like to leave this open-ended.The video starts out with Steve Aoki walking to his equipment in a mysterious, otherwise empty room. However, this doesn’t negate the possibility of the “Mic Drop” lyric predicting the future! J-Hope laughed as he shared one problem with her theory.īut we regrettably don’t have a Grammy! *Laughing*ĭespite not having won a Grammy, the nominations and performance at the award show are already more than what most artists can achieve in their career. Instead, she wondered if it was an acronym for some of BTS’s most notable accomplishments, nominations and/or performances: Billboard Music Awards, AMAs, and Grammys!

However, JaeJae proposed that word “bag” isn’t reference to real bag full of trophies, as fans had initially thought. Most recently, an iconic lyric in “Mic Drop” has been given a whole new meaning.ĭuring J-Hope‘s appearance on YouTube show MMTG, host JaeJae referenced one of the most notable lyrics in the song’s prechorus. …to the clever double meanings from rap line in various “Cypher” songs, BTS’s lyrics are always full of surprises!
